Making a House a Home with Community Warehouse
Description
In this episode, host Kent Wyatt sits down with Phil Gerigscott, Senior Manager of Communications at Community Warehouse, to explore how this incredible Tigard-based nonprofit is transforming empty houses into homes for those in need.
Learn how Community Warehouse operates as a "furniture bank," collecting and redistributing gently used household items to individuals and families overcoming adversity. Phil shares insights on the most-needed donations, volunteer opportunities, and the impact of their work—plus a few quirky treasures that have passed through their estate store!
If you're looking for ways to give back to the community, whether through donating furniture, volunteering, or supporting their upcoming Chair Affair fundraiser, this episode has all the details.
